Shorty's Island Substrate Enhancement Pilot Project Extent, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, ID, 2014
The substrate enhancement pilot project (SEPP) extent GIS layer represents an area
where an artificial substrate will be placed. The artificial substrate, consisting of a mixed
size class of gravel, is aimed at providing a more suitable substrate for sturgeon eggs
and early-life rearing habitat. The location of the SEPP extent was created by analyzing
the egg-mat network, bathymetric features, surficial sediment facies, and streamflow
characteristics. The egg-mat data represent points where sturgeon eggs were captured
in previous years, indicating a preference of spawning location. The bathymetry and
surficial sediment facies data were used to delineate areas that were relatively flat
and completely within the areas of lucustrine clay outcroppings. The streamflow data,
consisting of acoustic doppler current profiles throughout the reach, was used to
determine areas where the streamflow velocities were high enough to maintain
sediment transport of sand and fine grained sediment so that deposition of that
sediment would be minimal. The SEPP extent represents an area where sturgeon
have spawned previously, located on a low sloped and predominanly lucstrine clay
surface, and in an area of relatively high streamflow velocities.
